okay sorry for creating yet another thread but i poked around and my exact Q's werent answered in the others so....

I noticed that Finn had a little ick looking "grain of salt dot" on his head (probably from when he jumped out of his tank last week ) so I decided to start a short salt treatment just to nip this possible ick in the bud...

So far I put the recommended amount for 5 gallons in his(5 gal) tank (dissolved first). So now what? 50% daily water changes with salt until treatment is over? Can't do 100% obviously because it's cycled....Or maybe every other day? Or just leave it until I want the salt out?

You were supposed to QT.... Salt doesn't evaporate and are you even sure it's Ich? There are supposed to be tons of those dots. Well, you were supposed to 100% changes every other day but since your tank is cycled... Just get him into QT and do the treatment there once you're SURE it's Ich. But just keep him in a small unmedicated tank for now. You should be trying to get rid of the salt in the tank for now.
